I am so pleased to share with you that my sumi-e artwork is represented in this lovely and handy walking map and guide of Carmel Valley Villiage of the Central Coast in California. Carmel Valley is a quaint town with restaurants, vineyards with tasting rooms, lodges, shops, art galleries and the best Art Galley ever! CVAA @ Valley Girls Art Gallery. My art is exhibited there. The gallery is located at #2 Chambers Lane and open everyday from 11am to 5pm. If you are in this quaint little town, the gallery is a must see. Many local artists of all media are gracing the walls of this fantastic gallery.

Do you see my work? (3rd column from the right and 2nd from the bottom.) My work is the koi fish in the shape of an enso. It is called "Finding the Flow" 14 x 18 on xuan (rice) paper. Sumi (ink) and Japanese watercolor.

It is an article about my artwork and how I turned tragedy into triumph. It is written by art coach Renee Philips. I am a contemporary sumi-e artist reaching beyond traditional brush painting and creating the sound of one hand. Here is another version of the article online in the Healing Power of Art.

"If you ever feel like giving up on pursuing your creative passion during
times of personal hardship, this article, that has appeared in a
different version in the June-July 2015 issue of Professional Artist magazine, may turn your life around."

About Me

I am a
contemporary Sumi-e artist reaching beyond the limits of traditional ink
painting and creating the ‘sound of one hand’. My paintings one would not generally call
traditional sumi-e. However, I adhere to the traditional sumi-e principles and
philosophies, as well as, the traditional mind and spirit preparation the
artist performs before beginning a sumi-e painting.Sumi-e expresses the character and absolute soul of the artist. It is
a meditative process and spiritually personal for me. Understanding this idea of spirit has been at the core of my art work. I have studied and been a student of Western painting and of Eastern
ink painting. Ink painting called Sumi-e in Japan has captivated my spirit and soul completely. I
am continually trying to increase my understanding of the glorious secret of it's beauty and
grace and elegance. My intention is to merge East and West in my contemporary
sumi-e style. My medium is sumi (ink) and Japanese watercolor.
